A Pinterest Inspired Brunch ♡

Hey Guys,

Brunch? We've all heard about it, but have you ever been for Brunch? I always see people on Instagram going for Brunch on weekdays and weekends in Central London and think WOW, it looks amazing. The food and location, wow, but a little confession for you all, I've only Brunched once, and that one time was this year, when I turned 22, yup, at 22, I had my very first Brunch. I don't know why, but I was very excited for it, I guess because I've heard and seen so much about it, I was excited to 'do it' and that being, simply to eat a late breakfast, early lunch! It was in fact a success, but quite pricey, which made me thought of creating a fancy but bank account friendly homemade Brunch, one that the entire family can enjoy. That's where my good old friend Pinterest came in, I searched for inspiration (is inspiration you can search for? I don't think I've ever said that before haha) and as always Pinterest never failed, so I attempted to create Pinterest Inspired Brunch ...

Lets start off with the setting; setting of the table, atmosphere and overall ambiance. For setting I wanted to create a 'fancy' feel, with a budget tag, which is why I chose to use the gorgeous Sainsbury's Home Palm House Set (£44.00)* which is actually half price in stores. The set comes with 12pc's, including bowls, plates and side plates. They have a beautiful, print and brings an overall pretty vibe to the table. Then for little accents such flowers, candles and other bits and bobs. If you follow me on instagram (@tipscapsule) yes, that was a shameless plug, you'd know I love creating flatlays with flowers and readers or the blog know I love candles, the perfect combination. I lit a few candles in safe places and let the scent flow into the air. As for flowers, I scattered them around the table, and elsewhere to add a little of colour.

Even though it was a just a Brunch, I wanted to create a cozy atmosphere and laid two blankets on the sofa. I love blankets, even on the colder days of Spring, I'll find myself wrapped up in a blanket watching TV. I've been using this Sainbury's Woven Throw (£20.00*), its quite a big throw, but its the coziest one I've ever used. I also laid the gorgeous Sainsbury's Home Artificial Arrangement (£12.00)*.

Now, lets get onto food, because that's the most important and fun part FOOD! Mmm, Mmm, Mmm. When I was 'planning' this little Brunch, I didn't know whether to do it a pick n' mix style or tailor it to what everyone will eat. Because I wanted to go all out, I bought a variety of foods that I knew everybody would it. I went for the classics, Croissant, Pancakes, Waffles and then the more 'modern' of Avocado on Toast. Of course, as we all have major sweet tooths, I had to pop a brownie and an eclair in too!

And there we have it, a Pinterest Inspired Brunch, have you Brunched before?
